‘Though we had offered a special programme for Anganwadi workers in the state they expressed their inability to pursue the course due to their financial difficulties. We are appealing to the state government to support them for studying the course which in fact is very useful for their profession’, said the Regional Director.
Dr. Sarma said that IGNOU has been offering special courses for skill development through distance education which would provide them such good skills to the students. He also informed that IGNOU is offering certificate course in Anti Human Trafficking programme for police personnel. He requested the rural students to utilise certificate programmes which are available in the varsity.
